Steps

1

Be yourself. In middle school, people can sense when you're acting fake. Once they figure it out, they stop hanging out with you.

2

Try your best. It really annoys people if you take the easy route. Teachers will be disappointed. They will probably write notes to challenge yourself on your agenda or report card. This can be really embarrassing.

3

Be active. If you're not healthy (as in overweight), you need to become more active. This is because the middle school will probably have locker rooms and showers. Also, you might be forced to weigh yourself in front of everyone in gym.

4

Be stylish. In sixth grade, rolling backpacks are so loser! It's really weird (in middle school) to walk from class to class with a rolling backpack.

5

Be clean. If you're messy have crumbled papers and trash all around your desk, you will be showing the teachers and students how unorganized you are. Also, if you come to school with stains, holes in your clothes, unbrushed hair, bad breath, and dirty skin, no one will want to be around you.

6

Don't wear revealing stuff. It's really annoying to see an 11 year old with a revealing shirt and other inappropriate clothes.

7

Dating isn't necessary. You don't need it. Dating can cause stress. Also, if you show that you're angered about your dating life, people will just make fun of you. Start dating in seventh or eighth grade. Sixth grade and lower is really uncool because you can't even do anything!

8

Don't be in your face. People won't like it if you are never calm and you try to show off. They also don't like it when you get in their personal space.

9

Try to reel in people You can't expect people to always say, hey I wanna be your friend and all. You got to approach them and get them to be your friend. Everyone hates people who are lazy and don't do anything

10

Try not to curse Everyone hates a badmouth. Even if it's in a joke it won't be funny. It shows how much you can't protect yourself.

11

Don't talk behind peoples back It's a fad in most schools. It is just uncool. Most people do it because they don't have anything to do. It's just mean and everyone will think you are a prissy loser.

12

Cliques! Avoid groups who tend to exclude people because they "aren't like them." What a boring world it would be if everyone was exactly the same. Make friends with people you can respect and who seem friendly towards others.

Tips

Provide Details.

Please be as detailed as possible in your explanation. Don't worry about formatting! We'll take care of it.
For example:Don't say: Eat more fats.Do say: Add fats with some nutritional value to the foods you already eat. Try olive oil, butter, avocado, and mayonnaise.

Tips

Stay away from bad people. If there are people who encourage you to be in gangs or drink and do drugs, they are not good people. They're just trying to hurt you.

Make sure you're friends with people you trust. In sixth grade, it's hard to tell who are your real friends and who aren't.

Always smile. If you show people you are sad or angry, they will constantly ask you if you're alright. Some people tell teachers and counselors.

*A good rule is to always act like your mom or dad are watching. Then you won't ever be doing anything that will earn you a bad reputation!

Don't smoke, as it is bad for your body and brain.

Warnings

Drugs, alcohol, smoking, and PDA should be avoided. The people who do those are losers, not cool.

In sixth grade, cliques start forming. Be a part of a group of friends you fit with. Don't make drastic changes to try to fit in with others. The real cool people are the people who are friendly and happy being themselves.

If you talk about yourself a lot, or say and do things for shock value (you know, to look cool), people might spread rumors and you will get a bad reputation.
